    In subsection (c), the words ``Secretary of Education'' and 
``Department of Education'' are substituted for ``Chief of the 
Agricultural Education Service, Office of Education, Federal Security 
Agency'' and ``that service'', respectively, in section 7(c) of the Act 
of August 30, 1950 (ch. 823, 64 Stat. 565), because of sections 5 and 8 
of Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1953 (5 App. U.S.C.) and 20:3441 and 
3507. In clause (3), the reference to the Vocational Education Act of 
1946 (ch. 541, 49 Stat. 1488) is omitted because that Act was repealed 
by section 103 of the Act of October 16, 1968 (Public Law 90-576, 82 
Stat. 1091).
